The 25-year-old is still awaiting his first-team debut with both Ben Foster and Boaz Myhill ahead of him in the pecking order - but Baggies boss Steve Clarke has been sufficiently impressed to offer new terms.

Albion's sporting and technical director Richard Garlick said of Daniels: "He has shown great loyalty to the club since he joined our Academy as a youngster and has developed into a very promising goalkeeper.

"He is an important part of what has become a strong goalkeeping department at the club and he continues to progress well under the guidance of Dean Kiely."

till I suppose it still gives him at least another year in the job. By the time it comes around , he can always make up another excuse. First it was 3 months , then a year .....Next year ? Whats his excuse with Van Persie ?
